Hairstyle
Hair Style
I'd like to have my hair in a nice updo but not sure if I will have flowers or a tiara in my hair. I guess it all depends on what will match with my dress.

On the Beach
Rings
Photography
We went to the Brides Club bridal expo in January and were both overwhelmed with everything that was there. I think more then 50% of the vendors were photographers. We knew that we would have a lot to choose from but did not want to spend alot of time trying to interview with everyone. It just so happended we looked online at a couple of them and found out that Bianca Phototgraphy was located in our same area. So we made an appointment with her and she was just great! I'm so happy to have found her and she will also be taking out engagment pics which we have still yet to decide when/where we want to take them. I'm thinking probably on the beach in the sunset would be really nice :-)

Honeymoon
Cruise
We were thinking about going on an Alaskan Cruise for our honeymoon but they don't do cruises after September because it is to cold. So then we were thinking about maybe going on a cruise to the Bahamas. Not sure what we will do but maybe we can just go to Vegas to relax after the wedding and plan to go on an Alaskan cruise at a later time.

The Wine Experience
Game/Gift
We bottled wine for our wedding and were going to have a bottle on each table. The restaurant will not let us serve the wine so we were planning to have a game to give as a gift. (The centerpieces are already going to be given to our family/friends that helped us)....Anyone have any suggestions for a good game??

Favors
I'm down to a few ideas for favors.....i'd like something personalized that my guests can keep.  (I would use the same design as my centerpieces below) My fiance wants to order cookies......i'm not sure what to do still but these are some of the ideas that I have.

I like the wine glasses but we will have some children attending so that might not be a good idea......

I like the candle votives which by the way can be used as a shot glass.

I also like the tin can which we can just fill up with candy.......

As for the cookies we would just order all turtle cookies.

Centerpieces
I think i've decided to make my own centerpieces. I haven't decided if i'd like to make vases or candle holders but I was planning to do some glass etching. I was going to etch our names with our wedding date and also add a honu.

Bridesmaids
I found some really nice Maid of Honor/Bridesmaid dresses on the Alfred Angelo website. I'm planning to let my sister pick her own dress so at least she'll like the style.

Ceremony/Reception
The Willows
I really wanted to get married in church but it was really hard to make it work in our timeline. So we decided to get married at the Willows since we were having our reception there. It is a very nice and secluded restaurant so we really liked that.

My Future Husband
"Hottie"
This is my "HOT" fiance! ;-) I met him in September 2001. We started joggging together before work and the rest is history!

Words just can't explain what a great man he is.......I love him very much and can't imagine what my life would be like without him.

Colors???
Well we've decided to go with a brown/ivory wedding but i'm thinking that we need another color to offset. I can't make up my mind if i'd like a green, blue or pink?!
